So I have yet to find a good laptop for college

I made a thread in the past but the laptops didn't fit me. Now it's summer and times up for a new laptop. My budget is around 600 bucks but of course it would be nice if I could spend less. My major is going to be computer science. I don't know if computer science will require any demanding programs though. I'm not going to be playing any video games at all on it. As long as I can do computer science stuff and watch anime in HD i'll be fine. I'd also like if it is light weight and good battery life.

TLDR
Budget: $600
Major: Comp Sci
Uses: Anime in HD quality, Comp Sci stuff/programming, Surf Web
Wants: Light weight, Good battery life for college
NO VIDEO GAMES

You can have both. It comes at the cost of either a cheap, but slow performing netbook or ultrabooks.

There's a $600 (USA) laptop after coupon code DADDOORBUSTER

At 4.85 lbs, it's nowhere near as light as a true ultrabook, but it's decently thin.
